The nicest people can have good intentions. But honestly (imo), breeding dogs to be that small is just cruel. Why must we, humankind, be breeding animals to be so unnaturally small, just to satisfy our desire for cute little things?! I'm sorry, but just because you've been doing it for 35 years, doesn't make it a good/right thing.

And then I poked around some more and found this old post from a member by the name of Pocket Yorkies interesting:

Hmm...it certainly is a fine line between freedom of speech and slander. But if we're not able to voice our opinions of what we think are right vs wrong, then, how will the general public know better or have the chance to think for themselves? If this is all considered slander, then we'd all be ignorant and buy all these teacup Yorkies assuming it's a good thing?
